It might help to see the full raw message as received by the AOL users.
To see this in the AOL web UI, open the message and select More -> View
Message Source.

Does your list filter content? If not, It might help to have settings like

filter_content: Yes
pass_mime_types:
  multipart
  message/rfc822
  text/plain
  text/html
 plus whatever other types you want to accept.
collapse_alternatives: Yes
convert_html_to_plaintext: Yes
